The Press: Reporter on Red Square

The New York Times, the only non-Cpmmunist newspaper in the free world
with a staff correspondent in Moscow* sometimes gives as distorted a
picture of Russia as the traveling U.S. journalists (see above). Though
its correspondent, Harrison E. Salisbury, files only closely censored
stories, the Times prints his dispatches as it gets them, assumes that
the paper's readers are "intelligent enough" to know they may be
reading Communist propaganda. It tries to keep Salisbury's picture of
Russia in focus with separate interpretative articles and editorials.
